First of all, Compass is 88 seat flying, not 76 seats. 76 is a subjective "line in the sand" that is just as likely to be washed away by the economic tides as the other lines in the sand that preceded this one.
Your argument is a red herring. For historical reference, what was the size of the BAE146 and its sisters?
Those aircraft used to be at ASA and Mesaba. At ASA, they went away completely due to tightened scope (achieved during Section 6 negotiations). At Mesaba, they didn't violate seat limits.
